Carrie Underwood's Not The Only Reason To Tune In For The Sound of Music Live!

Most Read

It's been talked about for months now, and the day is finally here! The Sound of Music Live! TV special will be airing tonight at 8pm ET on NBC. And even if you love the original, there are plenty of reasons to get excited about the remake.

It's no secret that this country superstar has killer vocal chops, so it was only a matter of time before she tested out her singing skills on a different kind of stage. She's made a few minor acting appearances before, but this live theatre-style performance will truly show whether she's ready to add actress to her list of creds.

In a world where even reality shows are pre-taped and edited and very few real, live shows are televised (a la Saturday Night Live), it's going to be incredibly exciting to tune in and see just what goes down throughout the 3-hour special! Someone could forget a line, get sick, the stage could break—so much pressure!

3. True Blood hottie Stephen Moyer plays Captain von Trapp

The hills are alive tonight with an ultra-hottie: the vampire himself Stephen Moyer will be playing Captain Georg von Trapp in the special. It might seem like a total surprise, but Stephen actually got his start in musicial theater (even training at London's Academy of Music and Dramatic Art), so he's no stranger to the stage. A hottie who can also seriously belt out some tunes? Yes, please!
